The Omaha System Partnership for Knowledge Discovery and Health Care Quality is a new initiative within the University of Minnesota School of Nursing.

The partnership has 3 components:

a group of affiliate members from many countries who contribute clinical Omaha System data, suggest important clinical questions, and work together with the scientific team on research and evaluation projects

a warehouse of de-identified clinical Omaha System data including client problems, signs/symptoms, interventions, and knowledge, behavior, and status outcomes

Examples of current data projects include:

Evaluation of family home visiting effectiveness for mothers with intellectual disabilities

Benchmarking family home visiting outcomes across jurisdictions

Inter-rater reliability of public health nurse outcome ratings

Linking intervention approaches to client outcomes for elderly home care patients and for family home visiting clients

Data Warehouse

The Omaha System Partnership Data Warehouse is now accepting de-identified clinical Omaha System data including client problems, signs/symptoms, interventions, knowledge, behavior, and status outcomes, and client demographic information. Please contact Karen Monsen, Director, for more information.
